Condenser Upgrade/R134 conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I plan on using the factory AC in my 66 during my build. When I operated it years ago, I believe I remember it being cold but not a whole lot of airflow. So, to save money I decided to stay with it.

I still have a supply of R12 so I was going to continue to use that. I upgraded to one of those A-6 replacement aluminum compressors that bolt in directly, (brand new).

Now, I am looking at a more efficient condenser in addition to converting to R134. I'm wondering how successful you guys have been in converting?
